Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Gauahar you are a fashion icon and inspiration to many. Share 2020 bridal tips for brides on how to look their best.
Ms. Gauahar Khan:
I’m not a bride yet, so I can’t really give tips for that. But I would say that I find brides pay too much attention to a very heavy makeup. And I don’t think women or Indian features need that much makeup in any case. So, yes, of course, you need to be glammed up and you need to be all dolled up. But I think the makeup can be a tad bit less and easy since obviously now and covid time, even the guest list is going to be less so and people are going to be very intimate within any functions that you’re doing.
So, yeah, and always don’t forget to wear your smile because pretty girls look better with, a smile on and of course, coming months are going to be great on weather. So you could wear as heavy outfits as you want and enjoy yourself on your wedding day.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Gauahar you won Bigg Boss 7 and today even after 7 seasons later you are loved and remembered through Bigg boss, how does it feel? And who has been your favorite contestant from the show
Ms. Gauahar Khan
Thank you so much, I feel like all again, this is a blessing that even after seven seasons, I get the love and respect for my journey on the show. I absolutely love the show and I’m an ardent fan of it. In fact, I feel like I’m the number one fan because I keep getting involved in every season, whether I’m in it or not because my heart is still there. , my favorite contestants to date I really like Urvashi’s journey, I think she was great on her show. Strong, feisty, respectful, she was quite good.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Women Fitness India is known as the encyclopedia for health and fitness and celebrity diets. You are an epitome of fitness. Tell us about your workout routine. And 4 best body toning exercises
Ms.Gauahar Khan:
My workout routine is simple I eat healthy, I eat a balanced diet, and I am a weight trainer.
So I love going to the gym and lifting weights. I’m not that much of a cardio person, so I enjoy skipping. Yeah, that’s pretty much my workout regime. I work out about four to five times a week,
Four exercises that I swear by for a toned body is one is a deadlift because it gives you a really strong back. The other one is ABS because any kind of AB training, gives you a strong core and that’s very much the centre of any kind of work out that you do. I love having toned arms so anything to do with the upper body exercises is my favorite.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Share your daily diet routine? A diet that has helped you look your best. What are your favorite protein supplements?
Ms. Gauahar Khan:
I believe in natural protein, so like to eat eggs and fish as much as possible.Over the last two years, I haven’t taken any protein supplements. I eat a balanced diet.
So that means I can eat a heavy breakfast, go light on lunch, and then probably just go absolutely light on dinner and just have a soup or something for dinner. on most days, I don’t starve myself of anything. I don’t deprive myself of anything. If I feel like having a bite of something sweet, I will do that a lot.
It oh my God, of course, I’ll lose weight or something, then I will be very careful about what I put in my mouth. But otherwise, it’s usually a balanced diet with high protein and fewer carbs. But I don’t exclude carbs. Absolutely. I still have a few carbs when I want to, or maybe in the daytime and not at night
Ms.Namita Nayyar
You have always spoken for women’s rights and also been an inspiration for women to be outspoken. Share why is it important for women of India to stand up
Ms.Gauahar Khan:
This is not about Indian women, it’s about any woman because it’s about speaking your mind, especially in India. A lot of people in a lot of states or cultures deprive a woman to have a voice of their own. There are a lot of definitions that women have to live by. And I feel like that in itself. Grubs your right to speak and have a mind of your own and a voice of your own.
So it’s important to give women that confidence, to speak but speak correctly. I think if anything needs to be taught whether to a man or a woman, it’s about how to put your point across. It’s not about how much to talk or how less to talk. So for me, that is important that you give a person, whether a man or a woman, the right to have a mind of their own and then a voice of their own.
Ms.Namita Nayyar:
Who according to you has the best fashion sense in the industry? And whose wardrobe would you like to raid
Ms.Gauahar Khan:
I honestly have OCD, so I don’t think I want to raid anybody’s wardrobe because I’ll be like, oh, I don’t want to wear worn clothes. That’s one. And somebody I love in terms of the fashion sense is Malaika Arora in the industry. She is pretty fab. She’s hot. And I think Katrina Kaif also has a good sense of dressing, not just she’s not over-the-top, and she’s subtle and elegant.
Ms.Namita Nayyar:
Being in front of the camera you need to look flawless all the time. What are your must-have makeup products in your bag
Ms.Gauahar Khan:
A good makeup wipe, because I hate too much makeup on my face, I just take it off when I’m done with my work a mascara because I feel like my eyes will look absolutely dead without mascara, an eyebrow filler because it just enhances your eyes and makes it look fresh, a lip balm for sure.
Ms.Namita Nayyar
Share with our skincare and haircare rituals that you swear by?
Ms.Gauahar Khan:
For skincare keep it clean. Don’t sleep with makeup, have lots of water, use right products, don’t overload your face with too much makeup. You actually don’t need it. Haircare, I actually swear by vitamins. So people neglect vitamins for your hair. So just have lots of nice vitamins for your hair. Biting zinc, B Complex ,vitamin D, all of that that you need for your hair and you’ll get like a head massage or oil massage or something like a protein massage for your hair every month at least once a month. It really helps the conditioning of hair.
Ms.Namita Nayyar
Being the cover girl for our Festive Special issue, Share your message for our readers on how to look the best this festive season.
Ms.Gauahar Khan:
So festive seasons obviously get really hectic because you have so much to do, you have to visit all the families and there will be people who will come home. And we tend to kind of obviously wear our best during a night or a Diwali card night but I think this season you should be very careful about not wearing something that is going to be dangerous because, you know, this year is all upside down.
So be careful what you wear, what kind of materials you wear and where you’re at, even if you wear lighter materials, you can accessorize it heavily. I think no festival is complete without great jewellery. And of course, a red lipstick never goes wrong no matter what outfit you’re wearing during festive. And just make sure that you’re not overpowering your makeup or doing anything with the jewellery find a balance. If your outfit is not too heavy, you can add up the jewellery. If your outfit is heavy, keep your jewellery minimalistic. And yeah, it’s all about balance.
